Isaiah 53:3-10
3He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not.1
4SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031. 5But he was woundedH2490 for our transgressionsH6588, he was bruisedH1792 for our iniquitiesH5771: the chastisementH4148 of our peaceH7965 was upon him; and with his stripesH2250 we are healedH7495.23 6All we like sheepH6629 have gone astrayH8582; we have turnedH6437 every oneH376 to his own wayH1870; And YhwhH3068 hath laidH6293 on him the iniquityH5771 of us all.4 7He was oppressedH5065, and he was afflictedH6031, yet he openedH6605 not his mouthH6310: he is broughtH2986 as a lambH7716 to the slaughterH2874, and as a sheepH7353 beforeH6440 her shearersH1494 is dumbH481, so he openethH6605 not his mouthH6310. 8He was takenH3947 from prisonH6115 and from judgmentH4941: and who shall declareH7878 his generationH1755? for he was cut offH1504 out of the landH776 of the livingH2416: for the transgressionH6588 of my peopleH5971 was he strickenH5061.56 9And he madeH5414 his graveH6913 with the wickedH7563, and with the richH6223 in his deathH4194; because he had doneH6213 no violenceH2555, neither was any deceitH4820 in his mouthH6310.7
10Yet it pleasedH2654 YhwhH3068 to bruiseH1792 him; he hath put him to griefH2470: when thou shalt makeH7760 his soulH5315 an offering for sinH817, he shall seeH7200 his seedH2233, he shall prolongH748 his daysH3117, and the pleasureH2656 of YhwhH3068 shall prosperH6743 in his handH3027.8
